The Wagle Estate police in Thane have registered a case against an unknown person for poisoning a stray dog, resulting in its death. A four-month-old female stray dog was found dead near a residential society in Thane. The police have sent the dog for a post-mortem and are awaiting the medical report. Activists claim this is not an isolated incident, as several other dogs have been found dead in similar circumstances in the past.

The complainant, identified as Sonali Waghmare, an animal activist and president of the Alfa Foundation, is a resident of Thane. In her statement to the police, Waghmare said she received a call from Rupali, an animal lover, on the night of June 21, informing her that a stray dog had been found dead in their society.
